Pro: fun. inexpensive. handles like a Miata. You always seem to find the long way home. Driving with the sun on your face brings new hope to life, at least mine.

that is a disadvantage for people who have to deal with snow.....maybe he will want to drive up the glaciers down there in australia?????
missed the past where he lived......
my response was a general response......
edit: yeah space is tight. i fit snug into them...
I have heard thru the grapevines that you should buy one newer than '92...
Anything older than that had some sort of structural integrity issue with not enough side bolstering under the sheetmetal by the doors and rear quarter. Meaning, sides sag.

The early 1.6L cars have a weak nose on the crank. If a ham-fisted mechanic over torques or under torques the bolt on a timing belt it'll cause big issues. You'll have to rebuild the engine or replace.
As always, check out http://miata.net/ for information on the cars.

lol,
quote from Autoweek talking about the 2006 Miata:
"...the car has remained true to its enthusiast intentions, to its uncompromising pursuit of the simple joy of driving.
Too tall for it? Too bad; wouldn't want too high a center of gravity.
Too tight a fit? All the better to feel one with the road"
I'm 6'3" and used to drive a NA6C. It wasn't too bad once you get your seat setting down. I had no problems with head clearance or with the steering column. Then again, I am a little lanky as I only weigh around 175. If someone over 6ft. tall was looking for a Miata, I would probably recommend the NB series since it does offer a lot more seat adjustment and a little more leg room. It just makes for a more comfortable ride.55SIC said:
